Setup & Operation 11. I/O Remote Settings
RC180 Rev.17 65
11.1 I/O Signal Description
Remote function is initially assigned to both input and output from 0 to 7.
To change the function assignment from the initial setting, use EPSON RC+ 5.0.
To use all signals, you will need to add Expansion I/O or Fieldbus I/O board(s).
11.1.1 Remote Input Signals
Remote inputs are used to control the Manipulators and start programs. Certain
conditions must be met before inputs are enabled, as shown in the table below.
To accept external remote inputs, assign the remote function and set remote to the control
device. When external remote input is available, “AutoMode output” turns ON.
Except “SelProg”, the signals execute each function when the signal starts in input
acceptance condition. The function executes automatically. Therefore, no special
programming is needed.
When an error occurs, you must execute a “Reset” to clear the error condition before any
other remote input commands can be executed. Use the “Error output” and “Reset input”
to monitor the error status and clear error conditions from the remote device.
